It was a fantabulous day!
Brilliant sunshine shared with the ones I love and good friends.
Life at its best, People.
We headed out early this morning, picked up our caravan of friends and headed up the I-5 to Mt St Helens.
We stopped at several observatories. The view/s were un-describably beautiful.
MiniWarrior said it best:
"Mom, I can hardly stand it! It's so amazing I think my eyes are gonna pop out!"
*grin*
We roamed around the museum at the top for awhile. MiniWarrior got a book on bugs--his current obsession. Us adults snapped pics and sauntered checking all the info-facts out on the explosion and the recovery process.
Can you believe the POWER of the blast? It literally BLEW the top of the tree over.
We were able to see right into the Mountain to see the developing mass. It delighted MiniWarrior with its puffs of steam.

It really was amazing to see the devastation still--after 27 years.
Life is hardy and perseveres. Hmm..I suppose there's a lesson in that.
Gads. I'm tired. It was a grand time, Folks.
A
Grand
Time.
Tomorrow I'll tell you about Kayaking and the Leech.

he said that? he said his eyes were to pop out because of the beautiful scenery? he is such a little poet.
the lesson i've learned from my recent trips of natural wonders is that life goes on no matter what. adjust to it then await for the next blast.
Aafrica: Lol. MiniPoet? :D
You are right on the adjust--await the next blast.
Strawberry.... hmmm... I was wondering what it was that blocked the camera. :D

Mei Lian: I can see the mountain most days on my commute home from work. I don't know why I waited this long to go see it up close! We went camping there as kids--I could not believe how much had changed from the blast.
